Elohim Victoria, May 20, 2007

Victoria I AM! And I AM the Elohim of Victory!For I am the Presence, the Flame, of Victory that will consume all unlike itself. Thus, you have seen the images of the vastness of the cosmos.* And when you see the vastness of these galaxies, can you not see, my beloved, that the Earth is infinitely small compared to the cosmos itself? This does not mean that the Earth is insignificant. But it should give you the sense of co-measurement that this Earth and the powers on this Earth are not nearly as important or powerful as they seem and as they think.

Do you not see, my beloved, that this Earth is just a speck of dust in an almost infinite universe? So what is the folly of thinking that those who have set themselves up as having power on Earth have any real power compared to the vastness of the universe itself.

The illusion that problems are too big to be solvedMy beloved, you may see the most powerful army on Earth. You may see them arrayed with their nuclear weapons, but what can they do to the far-flung galaxies of the cosmos? And this should then give you the sense of co-measurement that the Creator who could create such a vast cosmos, has a power that is infinitely greater than any power on Earth. And thus, you should realize that when that power of God is allowed to flow through those who have opened themselves to be the open doors for that power, well then, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” There is not one single condition on Earth that cannot be resolved or consumed or transformed by the power of God.

My beloved, one of the foremost plots of the fallen consciousness and the beings who embody it, is precisely to make you believe that you are so insignificant and the problems facing this Earth are so great, that there is nothing you can do to change status quo. There is nothing you can do to overthrow the power elite. But my beloved, this is nothing but an illusion, designed to do one thing only, namely to prevent you from letting the Light of God shine through you, the Light of God that is already anchored in the kingdom of God that is within you.

And so my beloved, their greatest fear is that a critical number of people will stand up and say, “Come what may, we will pursue the path of individual Christhood. We will follow the example set by our supreme teacher, Jesus Christ. And we will dare to do the works that he did because we realize that WE are not doing the works—it is God within us who is doing the works.”

This is their supreme fear, because they know that there was nothing they could do to stop Jesus, to stop Gautama, to stop many of the other people who have awakened to the reality that they are individualizations of God on Earth and that they can allow the power of God to shine through them.

And therefore, they know that if a critical mass of people were to manifest that Christhood, well then they would lose their control over this planet. And they would then be faced with a choice of either changing their ways or going to the second death. This they are seeking to avoid or postpone, by causing the people to take on the karma they have created.

Yet my beloved, through your willingness to come apart from that consciousness of hopelessness, of paralysis, of despair, of worthlessness, you have shown, you have demonstrated, that they will not win, they will not endure. For God will be victorious on Earth.

Dare to leave the dualistic struggle behindThus, I come to commend you. For you see, my beloved, it is not a matter of fighting some gigantic, epic battle against the forces of darkness, defeating them in a giant explosion. No, the true revolution that will change the Earth is an inner revolution, where you dare to be who you are and rise above the dualistic struggle, thus refusing to feed it.

This is the true victory we are looking for—those who will overcome and be who they are in God. You have dared to start that process. And you can surely continue it. Yes, my beloved, I sense how some of you have your doubts. But I am not asking you to attain the Christ consciousness in the next five seconds. I am asking you to continue to do what we have talked about, namely put one foot in front of the other. Take one step at a time and simply determine in your mind that come what may, you will – for the rest of your lifetime – continue to take one small step at a time, always looking for the next step. Never allowing yourself to be held up by the sense of comfortability, or the sense of fear or the sense of hopelessness.

My beloved, all I am asking is this: Always look for the next step you can take. Look for how your ego is trying to come up with an excuse for why you should not take that step. And then realize that it is nothing but an illusion and determine to not let it hold you back but to take that next step anyway. That is what I am asking, my beloved. For that is what will win your victory.

Do you see, my beloved, some of our students in the organizations we have sponsored have sometimes had a somewhat naive and black-and-white perspective, where they thought that what they were doing was engaging in some epic struggle where there would be glory in the end because they had defeated the enemy. This, my beloved, is the remnants of a consciousness that has permeated this planet for a very long time, causing many people to actually want to go to war because they thought that war was some glorious activity that would give them honor.

My beloved, it is time that the spiritual people abandon this state of consciousness of wanting and needing to fight an enemy. It is time you realized that there is a higher form of victory than the dualistic victory that requires you to defeat an external enemy, namely by killing or conquering other people. It is time to realize that the true victory is a spiritual victory, namely that of rising above duality.

You do not win the ultimate victory by destroying other people that you have defined as your enemies. You win the ultimate victory by you rising above the consciousness that causes you to see others as separate from yourselves, thereby potentially converting your enemies into your brothers and sisters in Christ.

Rising above the possibility of defeatThis is the ultimate victory. And that requires you to overcome the sense that it is possible for you to lose. You see, my beloved, you might have your doubts of whether you can manifest your Christhood, whether you can overcome this or that condition. But I tell you, my beloved, Henry Ford was indeed right when he was inspired to say, “Whether you believe you can, or whether you believe you can’t—you’re right.” For it is the belief that precipitates the reality. If you believe you cannot win, then you cannot win. But if you believe and accept and determine with all of your heart, that you can and will win, then that will be your reality.

So do you see, my beloved, I am imparting to you the true Flame of Victory that is not in opposition to defeat, for it has and needs no opposing polarity—for it is the unrivaled victory of God. And in that Flame of Victory there is no possibility of defeat. For you know that if you keep taking one small step at a time, then you can only win.

For victory, my beloved, is not a static state of no change. What is victory? It is self-transcendence, coming up one step higher than you were yesterday. That is victory!

It is not a matter of attaining some ultimate state of supposed perfection, where there is no longer any growth or change possible. No, those who have ascended beyond the human state are those who have discovered the reality that life itself – that God itself – is eternal, perpetual self-transcendence. And so when you determine that you will continue to transcend yourself – for as long as you have awareness – well then my beloved you have entered the Circle of victory, the Flame of victory.

You have stepped onto the path of victory where there is no possibility of defeat. It is not a matter of “if” you can make it. It is only a matter of keeping on taking one small step at a time. And if you find that you have slipped back, then you do not condemn yourself. You simply surrender and then move on. If you always move on, if you always take the next step, you cannot lose.

For my beloved, did not Jesus give his wonderful parable about the talents? And the servants who multiplied the talents they had been given were rewarded. For did not the Lord say, “Thou good and faithful servant, thou has been faithful over a few things. I will make thee ruler over many things.”

So you see, my beloved, when you come to that determination – that you will keep taking one small step at a time – then you might say that the small steps that you can take are not enough to win the ultimate victory or to reach some state of Christhood or to manifest the Golden Age. And you are right. The small steps that you can take are not enough, but the small steps that you can take are enough to bring forth the multiplication from above, And that multiplication will manifest your Christhood, will manifest your victory, will manifest the Golden Age.

Understanding non-dual VictoryThus, my beloved, you see that as with everything, there is dualistic perspective and there is a higher supra-dualistic** perspective. And when you reach for that higher perspective, you see that there is a different approach. Even an approach where you do not need to be forceful or powerful in order to win. For my beloved, I have earlier spoken with greater power through this messenger, but I choose to tone down the power in order to impart to you a different aspect of the Flame of Victory, a more quiet aspect of that flame that is based on an inner knowing that there is only victory.

For my beloved, when you read Maitreya’s book, you can read between the lines that there has never been a sphere that has not ascended—that there never will be a sphere that will not ascend. For there is no question that God’s vision and design for this world of form will be manifest. It is only a matter of how long it will take before the beings who have used their free will to separate themselves from God will either realize the folly of their ways or run out of opportunity, so that the sphere in which they have lived will ascend without them.

Thus, my beloved, the force that drives the spheres to ascend is simply this: constant self-transcendence. And my beloved, you are never in a situation that you cannot transcend—IF you are willing to transcend yourself. For have we not said over and over again that your outer situation is a manifestation of your state of consciousness? And so even though you might feel right now that you have no power over your outer situation, I must tell you that youdo have power to change your state of consciousness one small step at a time, one illusion at a time.

And thus, the sense that you are paralyzed and can do nothing has no reality to it. For my beloved, you can always surrender. And it is precisely in unconditional surrender that you win the victory. For as has been explained by Maitreya in his book and by Jesus and Mother Mary before, you cannot perfect the human consciousness. You can only rise above it. And in order to do that, you must surrender it. You must let it go.

And so my beloved, do you see it has been said that it is better to conquer yourself than to conquer a city? And indeed, conquering yourself is not a matter of fighting a battle. It is not even a matter of fighting your ego or the different divisions of your ego that cause a warring in your members. It is only a matter of surrendering them, leaving them behind—realizing that you are more than this. And therefore, accepting that you can rise above any condition—when you are willing to look at it, to understand why it is unreal and then simply let it go.

Thus in the softness of the Flame of Victory, I seal your hearts and I express my gratitude as well. For you have set forth another movement, another momentum, in the consciousness of Europe, namely that of VICTORY THROUGH SURRENDER.
